The Orlando Magic dropped another home game and another game where they lost the possession battle. The Magic's own mistakes are costing them in a big way.
The Orlando Magic are struggling early in the season due to frequent turnovers and poor defensive rebounding, according to Orlando Magic Daily's Philip Rossman-Reich. These recurring possession problems were highlighted during Sunday's 108-97 loss to the Boston Celtics at the Kia Center, where Orlando surrendered 18 turnovers and conceded 14 offensive rebounds.
Orlando ranks among the league's worst in turnover rate and defensive rebounding rate, giving opponents more field goal attempts in every game this season. Injuries to Paolo Banchero and Noah Penda have reduced the team's size, requiring guards and wings to assist more heavily on the boards.
